The new generation of women employees who have been joining FedEx in increasing numbers over the past few years has proved that their fresh perspective can enhance all parts of supply chain operations. From package sorting and courier duties to truck driving and ground operations management.
Women, who have historically been underrepresented in the logistics industry, are now taking center stage. In 2022, women accounted for 19 percent of C-level positions in the average supply chain organization, up from 15 percent in 2021.
Successfully recruiting women, advancing them into leadership roles, and retaining them in supply chain positions are now considered essential components of an organization’s strategy.
